The Messenger of Allaah sallAllaahu 3Alayhi wa sallam said: "Whoever directs someone to a good, then he will have the reward equal to the doer of the action". [Saheeh Muslim]

How many times, while going up the stairs, walking on the road or getting in the car, our feet get uncover and not only feet sometimes, the ankles & part above the ankle also get uncover.

And you know covering the feet is Fard, YES its Fard (obligatory to cover in the prayer and outside the prayer)

Covering the Feet in Salaah/prayer

The free woman who has attained the age of maturity is obliged to cover her entire body during prayer, apart from her face and hands, because all of her is 3awrah. If she prays and any part of her 3awrah becomes uncovered, such as a shin or foot or all or part of her head, then her prayer is invalid, because the Prophet sallAllaahu 3Alayhi wa Sallam said:

” لا يقبل الله صلاة حائض إلا بخمار “

“Allaah will not accept the prayer of a woman who has started to menstruate, except with a khimaar (covering)” (1)

It is narrated from Umm Salamah that she asked the Prophet sallAllaahu 3Alayhi wa Sallam about a woman who prayed wearing a dir3 (chemise or upper garment) and a khimaar (head cover), but no ‘Izaar (lower garment). He said:“The woman is 3awrah.” (2)

Ibn 3Umar said: The Messenger of Allaah sallAllaahu 3Alayhi wa Sallam said: “Whoever allows his garment to drag out of pride, Allaah will not look at him on the Day of Resurrection.” Umm Salamah said: “What should women do with their hems?” He said: “Lower it a hand-span.”

She said: “Then their feet will show.” He said: “Let them lower it a cubit, but no more than that.” (4)

Al-Nawawi said: “The scholars are unanimously agreed that it is permissible for women to let their garments hang below their ankles (isbaal). Clear permission has been narrated from the Prophet sallAllaahu 3Alayhi wa Sallam for them to lower their hems by a cubit. (5)

Shaykh 3Abd al-3Azeez ibn Baaz said:

“The point is that the Prophet sallAllaahu 3Alayhi wa Sallam explained all that is good and called us to all that is good, and he warned us against all that is evil. He sallAllaahu 3Alayhi wa Sallam said: “Whatever of the lower garment hangs down below the ankles is in the Fire.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari in his Saheeh. The ‘izaar (lower garment), trousers, thobe (dishdasha) and 3abaaya (cloak) should not come down below the ankles; whatever comes below the ankles is subject to the warning mentioned in the hadeeth, with regard to men. With regard to women, they have to make their clothes long enough to cover their feet, because the feet are 3awrah”. (6)

We can walk with dress like this (a cubit long) & feet will not show, only thing is it will be touching (dragging) the ground.
Other solution is to use normal length 3Abayah & wear socks. thats more convenient & safer.
& Allaah knows best

asslaamalaikum can you please explain further this hadith , what it implies i am afraid i do not understand it .Jazak allahu kheiren!
“Allaah will not accept the prayer of a woman who has started to menstruate, except with a khimaar (covering)”

As’salaamu Al’aikum all.
Re: Women’s dress code.
If we have our hems so long below our ankles, our garments will drag in the dirt of the pavement. Is the garment then clean to offer sollah?
Please advise.

Qur’aanic Pearls

“The month of Ramadaan in which was revealed the Qur’aan, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion..."

[soorah al-Baqarah, v: 185]

Monthly Hadeeth

Prophet sallAllaahu 3Alayhi wa sallam said:

“When the first night of Ramadhaan comes, the doors of Paradise will be opened and the doors of Hell will be closed, and the devils will be chained, and it will be said, 'O you who desires virtue! Come forth and O you who desires evil! Stay behind', and Allaah has people whom He frees from Hell every night (in that month).".
